If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:1, ESV
We are all called to be priests under our High Priest, Jesus, who is at the right hand of the Father. Let us seek Him and to make Him known by knowing and sharing His Word.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
Psalm 33:18, ESV
Our God is always watching over us. Remember, “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
It is my prayer you find wisdom, and perhaps you can find some help at Proverbial Thought!
The poem today is a prayer that was originally inspired by Proverbs 30:7-14. There is a mix of, well, everything else from God’s Word that is good and leads us toward holiness. I think it is rather appropriate for Father’s Day, as all fathers (all parents) should pray this!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
a simple prayer
O God
give me enough today
that i need not stealO Lord
give me patience to stay
that i get through ordealsO Savior
clean up my mouth and mind
that i not lie or lustO Friend
clean out my heart and life
that i love and be justO Father
hear my cry of despair
that my soul be made holyO Daddy
hear my simple prayer
that my soul be filled with your peace
